The students will learn different bioinformatic and statistical methods for microbiome analysis.

Common bioinformatic pipelines/programs are applied on test data in a comparative manner. The results are visualized and analyzed in detail using suitable statistical methods. Finally, we interpret the results from an ecological point of view.

Practical exercise on the computer:

I. Bioinformatic data analysis: Illumina sequencing data are analyzed.

II. Data visualization.

III. Statistical data analysis using R.

IV. A data set will be analyzed and interpreted. Finally, the results will be presented.

The student's performance will be assessed based on:

1. a protocol

2. participation

3. small practical tasks

Material for the course will be uploaded in OLAT

The seminar "Techniques in Microbial Ecology (LV-718766)", in which important methodological aspects are discussed, corresponds to this course.

Online registration and attendance at the pre-meeting are mandatory for participation!

General preliminary meeting date: March 4, 2024; 11:00-11:45 am HS F
